Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has large, glossy, paddle-shaped leaves. The leaf blade is covered with a complex pattern of cream-white and dark green spots. If lighting is insufficient, the variegation may decrease, and new leaves become predominantly green.

Under indoor conditions, the plant height ranges from 50 to 95 cm. The variety is sensitive to watering regimes and direct sunlight; it requires bright, indirect light and protection from soil waterlogging, which can cause root rot.
